   so.. i modified my single.php file to show the latest five post in that category this way:

   <?php  $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=' . $numero. '&showposts=5');
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
     $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Link Permanente a <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   
     <?php endwhile; ?>

   that code is after the loop and before the comments.

   And now the comments in one post appear in other posts.. haha...

   the problem, i guest, is in this line:
   $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=' . $numero. '&showposts=5');

   Help, please :)

   When you're done your "latest five posts" loop, try

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
         update_post_caches($posts); ?>
      <!-- Do comment stuff here... -->
     <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   This is all documented on http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops but you need to carefully read through all the examples to understand it, unfortunately.

   Yeah!!! thanks, that fixed it!...

   here is the final code, if someone is having the same problem.

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<!-- POST STUFF -->
   	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   	<!-- 404 STUFF -->
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php  $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=X&showposts=5');
   	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   	$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
   	<!-- 5 LATEST POST STUFF -->
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   	update_post_caches($posts); ?>
   	<!-- COMMENTS STUFF -->
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   where X is the Cat ID

   I don't have

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

   on comments.php

   i only have

   <?php comments_template(); ?>

   @Marcomail, we're talking about a posts query. comments.php is only supposed to display comments, not posts. Look in single.php. That page typically includes comments.php, so on a single post page, it uses the $wp_query->comments list to display the comments for the related post.

   If you're writing a custom query (like the posters above), then we're explaining that you need to restore the default $wp_query global variable, otherwise your comments_template() function call will use the most recent query data, and display the wrong comments or none at all.

   I hope that's why you asked your question.

   BTW there is a have_comments() loop, but for comments.php customization you should stick with the default comments.php and just use CSS, or make a custom Walker class if you like to dig into PHP.
